Man regrets handing in the gold found in the tank from eBay

Stunned by the discovery, Mead handed in the gold to the authorities. Now, seven years later, he has admitted he wishes he had kept the hidden booty.

Dumazzes never learn. If he was in the USA, he'd probably vote for the hoe and the twinkie.

Why do people insist upon running their mouths?

If I found a five dollar bill the only person that would know would be me, never mind gold bars.

Stupid.

ROTFLOL!

[Fireone]

It wouldn’t even be in the first 100 thoughts I’d have.
Never.

[Alas Babylon!]

Thanks! That’s pretty dang good right there! Another reason to like this classic.

exactly.

smelt it down.

sell it by the ounce, cheaply for cash.

Too bad this happened in England. In this country, a person could take up handloading with cast bullets. A melting pot and some bullet molds wouldn’t cost much, and there’d be no need to mention gold at all.

I regret handing it in

The price of not thinking

[fuzzylogic]

I don’t agree with keeping it all.

That said, I don’t agree with no “finder’s fee” either.

I think he’d have been justified in keeping a bar as a “finder’s fee”. Melt it down into small nuggets, use over time.

Gold is a precious metal that comes from the Planet. Therefore, it belongs to everyone, and I want mine in the form of a Karl Marx figurine. /s

The police that he called probably kept it and sold it themselves.

Look for the very nice policeman-owned boat named "Crime Pays".

Another movie on this theme is "Three Kings".

How do you post a picture? I just know copy and paste from Word that works for emails.

[SaveFerris]

It’s definitely funny

Fooled me the first time I saw Kelley’s Heroes

I had always thought it was him LOL 😅 after that

Melt it down to small quantities and trade it off over a period of time.

One has to get a license to melt gold.

“...One has to get a license to melt gold.....”

People in these parts regularly melt lead to cast bullets....
“Gold??? What gold you talkin’ bout, boy????? Them there are .45 slugs.”

I like your thinking.

"I like your thinking."
